he has to account for that before he has a so-called deficit reduction. so there's no way it adds up. the only thing that he put on is maybe a cap on reductions of 25,000. well, if you do that, that doesn't even begin to come close to $7 trillion. nobody should take that sketchy deal and you cut the president off before he said that final line. he said, governor, you wouldn't take that sketchy deal and then he turned to the audience and said, and neither should you. >> ana marie, i want your view on that as well as an interesting exchange on the pension. let me play that for you before we get the responses to both. >> any investments that i have over the last eight years include a blind trust, including chinese companies. mr. president, have you looked at your pension? have you looked at your pension -- >> i've got to say -- >> mr. president, have you looked at your pension? >> you know, i don't look at my pension. it's not as big as yours so it doesn't take you as long. i don't check it that often. >> you hear the laughter in the room on the pension exch

washington is obsessed with the deficit but the deficit wasn't the first issue that he talked about. the first issue he talked about was creating jobs and the programs that he wants to push through for job training and community colleges and the like to help raise people's income and, again, i think that's very true to the constituency that elected him that, yes, people want the long-term fiscal problem solved but right now they are still interested in making sure this economy keeps moving forward. and, again, without claiming he has political capital, that's an issue where i think he's aligned not only with his own constituency but with a lot of other people, too. >> even in victory he reaches for consensus, chris. >> that's absolutely right. and he has gone above and beyond, no matter what the republicans say, he tried so hard to get republicans on board with health care to work with him time and time again and they just rebuffed him from the beginning. we'll see if they behaved this time around. >> we'll see. thank you for your time tonight. have a great weekend. >> thanks, you to

president obama took a strong stand today at his news conference on taxes, on deficits, on immigration. we'll talk about all that later in the show. but we begin with the big story of president obama's smackdown of republicans who have been playing politics with the tragic killings at our consulate in libya. senators like john mccain and others on the right wing have been trying to have a scandal with the tax against the president's ambassador to the u.n. susan rice. today, the president called and he said, i have had enough. >> let me say specifically about susan rice she's done exemplary work. she represented the united states and our interests in the united nations with skill and professionalism and toughness and grace. as i have said before, she made an appearance at the request of the white house in which she gave her best understanding of the intelligence that had been provided to her. if senator mccain and senator graham and others want to go after somebody, they should go after me. i'm happy to have that discussion with them. but for them to go after the u.n. ambassador who had

>> when i ran for president, i said we could cut the deficit in half and we cut it by 60%. i said our economic plan would produce 8 minullion jobs and we created 10 million jobs. >> i can only tell thaw i don't think senator dole is too old to be president. it's the age of his idea that i question. >> abby, if the president ignores him and goes as clinton did in '96, does that neutralize what you think is a good debater in mr. romney? >> that's exactly what mr. obama has to do. he has to remain calm and look like he is the commander in chief that he is for the united states and if he can -- if obama can be just who he is, there's no way that romney can get the narrative that he actually wants. but if obama can be himself, then i think that he will be just fine. >> abby, neera, thanks for your time and i think you're right, if the president is who he is and mr. romney is who he is, i think that will work to the president's favor. we'll be right back. >> thanks. oh no, not a migraine now. try this... bayer? this isn't just a headache. trust me, this is new bayer migraine.

going to have to actually spend more to put people back to work, which is the best way to reduce the deficit. >> and this is exactly what ryan as the vice presidential nominee ran really opposing that kind of policy. >> exactly. >> but in fact in "the new york times" article we quoted today, ryan's role in the tax negotiations -- it says when mr. ryan returned to capitol hill last week he was met with a standing ovation from his republican colleagues, a bear hug from will pr boehner, and hope from conservatives that he would hold the line on taxes. so is this a signal that they're really talking compromise but they really don't want to compromise? >> i think the problem is that the republicans in the house have unfortunately gotten way to the right not just of democrats, not just of the center or of the american people but even of their own base. if you look at the republican exit polls, actually the majority of people who voted for a member of congress on the republican ticket want taxes to be raised on the rich. >> that brings me to the politics of this, jackie. republicans are concerned o
